SIR JOHN BUCHANAN
It is with profound sadness that the Board of BHP Billiton advises of the passing of Sir John Buchanan yesterday. Sir John served as a Non-Executive Director of BHP Billiton from 2003 up until the time of his death, and was the Senior Independent Director of BHP Billiton Plc.
BHP Billiton Chairman, Jac Nasser, paid tribute to Sir John.
"Sir John provided wise counsel to his fellow Directors and to management, and made an invaluable contribution to BHP Billiton. We have lost a highly respected and esteemed colleague who was greatly admired by those who worked with him."
The Directors extend their deepest sympathy to the family of Sir John.
